FRANKFORT, Ky. (KT) – A provider of remote patient monitoring and clinical health coaching services for the health care industry will be bringing more than 400 new jobs to central Kentucky.
Community Wellness Technology, Inc., is investing $3 million, with plans to invest up to $15 million to establish a new facility in Boyle County, a project that will create 445 well-paying jobs during the coming years.
“Community Wellness is the latest example of a company creating a significant number of quality job opportunities for Kentuckians,” said Gov. Andy Beshear. “This is a company creating great jobs while also providing accessible health care to Kentucky residents. I want to welcome Community Wellness to Team Kentucky and congratulate everyone in Danville and the surrounding region who will benefit from this great company locating in Central Kentucky.”
Community Wellness recently leased a 22,000-plus-square-foot facility on Lebanon Road in Danville. The operation will develop comprehensive and fully integrated remote patient monitoring and behavioral health services for COVID-19 patients, those managing chronic conditions and other health care-related uses.
The facility also will serve as a training center for the company’s employees. Community Wellness already has begun hiring efforts, with the facility expected to be operational in the coming weeks. Positions created by the project include clinical health coaches, patient support staff and IT roles.
“Establishing this facility in Danville, Kentucky, accelerates our capacity to deliver lifesaving telehealth and remote patient monitoring to Kentuckians,” said Zoe Fields, CEO of Community Wellness. “I am delighted to be working in Kentucky to create new employment opportunities through our telemedicine programs, building stronger, healthier communities throughout the state and region.”
Founded two years ago in California, Community Wellness provides telehealth and remote patient monitoring services to patients with congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder, diabetes, hypertension and obesity. The company also provides behavioral health products for medication adherence, chronic condition management and preventive health measures using technology and personalized coaching to reduce emergency room visits and hospital readmissions.
Community Wellness joins more than 200 health care-related technology, service and manufacturing facilities in Kentucky, which employ over 37,000 residents. The industry includes headquarters operations, pharmaceutical makers, medical equipment design and production, medical device manufacturers and health care product distributors.
